RMOS Features

RMOS is available in Advanced and Standard versions.

Standard RMOS

Uplogix SRM appliances running the Standard version of RMOS provide all of the remote access, control and enforcement features required to cost effectively and efficiently manage a highly distributed IT infrastructure including:

Access

• Secure Access & Connectivity | Maintains management connectivity with distributed locations, even when the network is down or degraded via a variety of backup communication options including dial-up modem, cellular network, or satellite communications
• Local, In-depth Monitoring | Continuously monitors and proactively diagnoses problems with network devices and servers, using data frequently collected on over 100 variables, with no impact to network performance

Control

• Proactive Maintenance | Allows you to selectively choose which ongoing maintenance activities to automate including OS upgrades and patches, configuration changes, password resets, etc.
• Configuration Management & Recovery | Enforces consistent operations by ensuring that change and configuration management tasks are done the right way, every time, minimizing human error and protecting availability
• Automated Problem Resolution | Lowers the cost and complexity of remote management by diagnosing and automatically fixing common problems within minutes, often before traditional monitoring tools even know there is a problem
• Remote Power Management | Allows you to securely access and control power to non-responsive remote devices, as well as execute more complex recovery actions requiring a power cycle such as quickly recovering from a failed configuration change to avoid an outage

Enforcement

• IT Policy Enforcement | Ensures that only the right users have the right level of access to devices and systems by providing very granular and customizable access, authorization and role-based permission controls, both in- and out-of-band
• Compliance Reporting | Captures, logs and reports all changes made by users and the results of those changes. Inspects logs in real-time for problems and can proactively take rules-based automated recovery actions based on log patterns

Advanced RMOS

The Advanced version of RMOS has all of the same robust, remote management capabilities as the Standard version of RMOS, but also includes advanced device and application management features such as Service Level Verification (SLV) which monitors, measures and manages the performance of critical network services and applications from an end-user’s perspective including TCP/IP communications, web-based transactions and voice over IP telephony. Additionally, Advanced RMOS includes robust server management capabilities such as Service Processor Automation using IPMI and KVM over Service Processor. By upgrading Uplogix SRM appliances to Advanced RMOS, enterprises can better monitor and manage the service levels of business critical applications, and extend Uplogix’ industry-leading secure remote management capabilities to their distributed server infrastructure.

RMOS v3.5

RMOS 3.5 is Uplogix’ latest software release and extends our leadership in the remote management market by further increasing the breadth and depth of distributed IT assets that Uplogix is capable of securely managing remotely. The latest RMOS release offers customers robust remote server management at both the OS and hardware level, KVM capabilities to remotely access and control distributed servers, and secure, remote web access to control distributed devices with web-only management interfaces.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Service Processor Automation | Provides users the ability to remotely monitor, manage, diagnose and recover servers, even if operating system has hung or the server is powered down
• KVM over Service Processor | Enables local access and control to a remote server (i.e. provisioning, monitoring, troubleshooting, restricting access) without having to deploy external KVM appliances and functions independent of the availability of server’s operating system or the primary network connection
• Remote Web Access | Offers secure access to remote devices with web-only management interfaces without requiring additional overhead to manage. No need to consume a switch port, maintain VLANs or manage user access for the device
